My current finance payment on my solar array is slightly less than my average NGrid bill was before the big rate hike. I have 6 years left to pay on that and another ~20 years after that of a functioning array.

​

So, getting the array alone and switching a high monthly electric bill to a slightly lower finance bill it's already providing savings.

I don't pay for electricity anymore because of my solar array. My current finance payment on the array is less than my average electric bill was before the rate hike last year. My financing will be paid off in 6 more years and I will have at least another 19-21 years of array output. If you can't see the savings here (and their inflationary resistance) then maybe you're not smart enough to buy a home.

Ah damn that sucks. I have only shopped there once so far and had a middling experience but have seen loads of people complain about the quality of service since they began recreational sales. They will have competition close by at least.

You have a valid argument, but also the counter is that:

  1. He could do more for RI in DC than at the RI Foundation.
  2. The last RI Foundation leaders salary paid about 5x more than what Cicilline gets paid in congress.

We will probably never know the actual truth on this, but I've generally always believed that anyone who seeks power and money will do more to achieve those ends than simple altruism.

I have a strong distrust for authority in general so that does color my argument (and disbelief that Cicilline is doing this for noble purposes).
